1989 Map of Greg Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Greg Hills dominate the northern landscape of this high desert terrain at the convergence of Sierra, Grant, and Luna Counties. This arid expanse is defined by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, including China Canyon Draw and Macho Creek, which illustrate the critical importance of water management in the American Southwest. The presence of Cotton Well, the China Tank, and several Check Dams speaks to the ranching infrastructure necessary to sustain life and livestock in this environment. Genealogists and historians interested in land use and boundary changes will find the intersection of the Sierra Co Grant Co Luna Co lines particularly noteworthy. The map also records natural features like Greg Spring and deep cuts such as Black Canyon, providing a clear view of the topography before modern developments altered these traditional cattle-grazing ranges.
